Woman and girl with laundry on balcony in Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown

A young woman and girl call down from an apartment balcony in Ho Chi Minh City's Chinatown. The young woman on the left holds clothing that she is hanging or removing from the laundry pole and hangers overhead. In many urban apartments throughout Southeast Asia, laundry is washed in basins by hand and hung to dry on balconies. Even in apartments with automatic washing machines, drying is done without machines because clothes dry rapidly outdoors in the tropics.
